In order to get my hands on the blue felt Scottie with the 1939 calendar from Dominica, the vintage milk caps, and the sweater clip ...

I had to buy these.Don't you love the tiny metal sculpture of the man on the toilet?

Large red doll trunk.

Brown porcelain door knob/lock set.

Dog nutcracker.

(Our dogs crack their own nuts - they are especially fond of the pecans and hickory nuts in the backyard - yes, I know they are NOT supposed to eat nuts.) A silverplate ice bucket - I named it Beth for a friend who likes ice buckets.Guess what? She came in Tuesday and bought it!

Here are several - they were selling as I brought them in from the loading dock.

The doors make great screens on porches, displays for booths, and, of course, doors!

A lovely louvered screen door #855 from an old cottage in Aiken.

No, I did not need another tool caddy, but I am enjoying it on the front porch for awhile before it heads to the booth.Another despicable chore - getting the tape off.

Painted red Samsonite folding chair - child size. A scrap of cloth - I looked in bin after bin to see if there was another piece of this.The gold milking stool I left as I found it - wonderfully distressed.And the tool?

The ScaleMaster No. 10.

"Oh, no, I've lost my arms!" cried the spooky doll. There is that piece of cloth again.

Yes, folks, yet another quilt - all hand-stitched and hand-quilted.

A very large market basket - the bottom striped red, gold, blue.

A stack of quilt pieces - two squares and the rest ovals.

An old knob and lock set.

A bag filled with children's vintage shoes.

My favorite pair - felted wool booties with embroidery.

At another sale two newer pairs of tiny shoes.

Bundled group - clip-on rings for curtains - handy in the booth.

A handful of bracelets.

A ring holder. A scoop.A small lace tablecloth.

A large storage basket.

The cloth scrap fits the basket, but I decided to use it another way.

I will admit I bought this spool of metal without a clue of what it is.It simply appealed visually to me.I have an idea for it.Wait and see.

Four kindergarten chairs.

A candlestick table in a dark finish - decent enough - I did not paint it.A large gardening encyclopedia.So ...

Multiple doors.Multiple tiny shoes.Multiple quilt pieces.Multiple chairs.Wonder what is out there this weekend?Have fun.See y'all!

I spent some time last week bringing some bits of Fall and Halloween to the front of my large booth.

Booth W-10 is at the end of a long aisle - this is what meets the customer's eye.

I keep items from all holidays in the back section of the booth moving them forward when the time comes.

No shifting back and forth from mall to home.

Just rotating stock around the booth space and adding the new items.

The orange pumpkins are for display - Dollar Tree finds.

Dollar Tree starlings for my birdcages.

Creepy image clings on the mirrors are from Dollar Tree last year.

I hope they have some more this year.

And what about Miss Katherine who was front and center?I carefully shifted her onto sliders and slid her around the corner.All 150 pounds of her!She is one hefty lady.I will be adding more as the season progresses.See y'all!
